Clamping systems and apparatus

摘要

A clamping apparatus is provided for use with a fluid flow device, such as a blood separation system. The clamping apparatus includes a clamp head at least partially defining first and second tube openings each to receive tubing. The clamping apparatus also includes a first actuator coupled to a first flow control member. The first flow control member is configured to be movable via the first actuator relative to the first tube opening to control fluid flow through tubing located in the first tube opening. The clamping apparatus further includes a second actuator coupled to a second flow control member. The second flow control member is movable via the second actuator relative to the second tube opening to control fluid flow through tubing located in the second tube opening.

1. A clamping apparatus for use with a fluid flow device, comprising:
a clamp head at least partially defining first and second tube openings each to receive tubing; a first actuator coupled to a first flow control member and positioned on a side of the first and second tube openings, with the first flow control member being configured to be movable via the first actuator relative to the first tube opening to control fluid flow through a first tube located in the first tube opening; and a second actuator coupled to a second flow control member, with the second flow control member being movable via the second actuator relative to the second tube opening to control fluid flow through a second tube located in the second tube opening, wherein
the second actuator is positioned on the same side of the first and second tube openings as the first actuator, andone of the tube openings is positioned between the actuators and the other tube opening.
